One frustrating thing about plundering a show like Shinmai Maou no Testament BURST is that there's so much stuff I can't use. NSFW below the fold, for an example.

UPDATE: Shinmai Maou no Testament BURST was good for 77 candidates. I think Hakone-chan is next.

UPDATE: Onsen Yousei Hakone-chan was good for 34.

UPDATE: I tried, I really tried. But ten minutes of trying to plunder Shomin Sample was all I could handle before I gave up. And I just couldn't force myself to revisit Etotama. So since I have considerably more than 500 candidates anyway, I'm on to the next stage. After plundering is complete, the next step is the most dull and painful: resizing and trimming the images.

The grabs are 720p or 1080p, and I resize those to 667*375. Then I have to trim that down to 600*375, which is the size of the flash window.

Usually that means just taking 600 out of the middle of the image, but a lot of the time I have to use the leftmost part or the right most part or to adjust the part I take to match aspects of the image. It's all manual and it seems to take forever. And sometimes I get a grab which I just can't trim reasonably, and then I have to delete it. What prevents this from being absolutely painfully dull is that I see the pictures as I'm working. Cheesecake.

So I've processed all but three series. 230 images yet to go. I should get this finished this evening some time, but right now I'm taking a break.

Ani Tore EX -- eps 9 and 10

I was going to do a single post today for Ani Tore and Hakone-chan, but ep 9 of Ani Tore is a fan service special and it deserves its own post. (Also, ep 12 of Hakone-chan ended in a cliffhanger, so I'll wait until next week.)

This girl's family is rich and her home has an indoor pool. She invites the youngest one, the blonde pettanko, over for an episode.

Also, the picture on the bottom shows off one of my favorite things about anime: Japanese homes. There is something about the architecture and decoration that pleases me, although I lack whatever it takes to develop that feel in my own dwelling places.

For my readers in the southern hemisphere

Think Sun!

UPDATE: That came from this artist. He's really good, but a bit of a lolicon. About half his pictures are of Wendy Marvell, who is somewhere between 10 and 12 years old depending on where in the canon you look.

Not safe for work, and not safe for computer. Site tried to download a virus. Or one of those fake virus alert scams, anyway. Had to shut down my browser using task manager to leave it.
Other than that, nice pic.

Ouch, thanks for the warning. I run with an ad-blocker, so I didn't see that (or, like a lot of malware these days, it detected my Mac/browser and didn't bother to try installing Windows viruses).

Steven, please delete that comment, and I'll link to one of the pictures directly here (still NSFW).
